Lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students have historically been alienated, harassed, and bullied in their schools, often with little or no intervention from school personnel. Far too many of these students have underperformed or dropped out in

And I was talking about anyone getting bullied.
A step son (gay) I use to have got bullied a lot and one day he got pushed into a busy street. Luckily he did not get hit by any cars. Three boys were involved in bullying Chris. His parents were not going to do anything about it.
I went to the principle, somehow got names of all the boys and where they lived. I went to the homes of each boy and talked to the 'single' mom's. I was prepared to get pushed away, but I did not. One boy's mom was so mad, she made her 'popular' son befriend Chris, and he did. He no longer got bullied at the middle school.

Noted, signed and shared. This is a hugely important concept. When I was in school no one knew my sexual orientation but I was bullied for other reasons and so I know how horrible it can be. I can only imagine how much worse it would have been if kids knew I was not "straight". I feel so much admiration for young people who are brave enough to be open about their sexual/gender orientation today.
